Terrific Tuesday Challenge

Hi  Everyone.  I am back today with a card for the Terrific Tuesday Challenge with Scrappy Moms.  See it HERE.  I made this card for my favorite guy.  The card is a little non-traditional in color but who says everything must be pink or red?  I have to tell you that by the time we get through Christmas, New Years, and Valentine's Day I am ready to use anything EXCEPT pink or red.  Bring on St. Patrick's green!!   I think the card came out pretty cute.  What do you think?

The cardstock is from Stampin Up Retired colors.  the DSP is from last year's K & Company 8.5 designer pad.

I don't have the sweethearts cartridge but I believe there is a heart and a key on it.  I got this heart from Create A Critter cut at 2.56 and the key is from Gypsy Wanderings cut at 2.32.  The sentiment is an old stamp with no manufacturer listed.  I love making step cards.  Actually I love making any kind.  This post is late in the day because my muse was sleeping...............or something.  I added a paper doily behind the heart, some bling to the heart along with gel pen stitching.  The key has silver glitter to give it more of a metallic look.

Well that's all for now. 

Bye for now........play nice

Paper Playtime Challange

Good Monday morning everyone.  Hope you all had a great weekend.  We did up until Sunday night when our Patriots forgot to show up for their football game...............color me sad.  Oh well, bring on the Red Sox.
We live not too far from the Tampa Bay Rays spring training location so activity should be heating up soon,  Opening day is Feb 25th.  ALREADY????
Well on to crafting:  I made this card for the Paper Playtime Challange this week.  You must have the word love on the card.  Went to Michaels yesterday and was able to pick up 4 cartridges at $9.99 each..Yipee!!!!
One of these is Hello Kitty.  So I just had to try something out this morning.  She is soooo cute.

Cardstock just from my stash.  I wanted to try a shaped card today.  Used my gypsy...lov..lov.  to create the card and all the pieces except the flowers.  All cut at 5.47 The floweres are made with little heart punches from my marvy punch.  The sentiment is from stampin up.  I heat embossed it with some kaleidoscope embossing power from Stamp Stuff.  If you haven't tried this color, it is unbelievable especially on dark paper.  A rainbow of colors. Almost forgot the bling on the flowers.  How silly of me.  She's a cutie.
Well I have to go play with my other new cartridges.  See you later,  You can click Here to visit the Paper Playtime Challange site.
Bye for now.........play nice

Paper Cutz Challange

Good morning everyone.  Hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the weekend.  I hardly have time to craft with all these great blog hops going on.  There are two that I am currently hopping around.  One starts at My Pink Stamper and the other one begins with Alex over at You had me at craft.  Check them out.  I wanted to make a card to enter the Paper Cutz challange this week.  There have been a lot of firsts for me this past week; including first blog and first challanges.  This time the card or project had to use a tag or tags.  Check mine out.

The tag is from TBBM cartridge.  I don't know the page number because it is on my gypsy.  It is Row 1 button #7  I cut it on blackout at 3.25 and punched my own hole.  I heat imbossed some hearts with pearlescent orchid Brilliance Ink. The cardstock is from stampin up and the DSP is from Color Boc.  I really like the combination of pink and green. The bear stamp and sentiment are both from Stampin Up. I popped up both the tag and the heart sentiment and added a big bow at the top of the label.  I think he is cute.
Thanks.  Bye for now, I have to get back to hopping.
